International Childhood Cancer Day is a global collaborative campaign to raise awareness about childhood cancer, and to express support for children and adolescents with cancer, the survivors and their families.
Each year, more than 300,000 children ages birth to 19 years are diagnosed with cancer around the world.
Approximately 8 in 10 of these children live in low and middle-income countries where their survival rate is often near 20%.
The Target Goal of the WHO Global Childhood Cancer Initiative is to eliminate all pain and suffering of children fighting cancer and achieve at least 60% survival for all children diagnosed with cancer around the world by 2030.
